"Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth." ~ Jean-Paul Sartre

Brilliant ego statement OR a statement of surrender. When I ask the ego to forge my destiny the results are not pretty. When I surrender and ask the higher, loving Self to take over my life starts to flow so easily and beautifully.
